One of the biggest things missing in these first 100 days has been you.People interact with businesses every day. From local businesses like coffee shops and pet stores, to big brands like department stores and banksWe’re ready to bring those interactions to Google+ with our Google+ for business services.With Google+ you can:1. Start real conversations with the right people (through Hangouts and Circles). 2. Give your customers opportunities to recommend new ones (by +1 and Sharing). 3. And, boost the performance of your ads across the web (via +1 and Analytics)

The reaction to Google+ speaks to the need people have for a new way of sharingMillion of people joined within the first few days, making Google+ the fastest growing social networkPeople have made Google+ a part of their daily lives around the world, spending over a Xxminutes in hangouts alone.We’re excited, but this is still early days.

There’s something deeply satisfying about sharing on Google+, then watching the activity unfold. Comments pour in, notifications light up, friends share with friends (who share with their friends), and in no time at all there’s an entire community around your post. We want to help people re-live those conversations—both to rekindle that initial excitement, and to learn how posts flow across the network.With ripples you can replay a post’s activity, zoom in on certain events, identify top contributors and much more.

Google+ for business is about more than just a single site. It’s about making the web social. In search, on your site, on mobile, in your ads Google+ plugs in seamlessly to bring social everywhere. For example, let’s say your friend Elaine used the +1 button to recommend a page on a travel site she saw on Google Search. When you’re online and signed in to your Google account, you might see Elaine’s +1 on a Google search result when you’re looking for discount flights, on the travel site itself when you’re shopping for fares, or on a display ad for that travel site when you’re researching destinations. Seeing Elaine’s +1 let’s you know that it’s something she trusts and recommends, which can help you make a more informed choice.

Google+ for business is built on 3 pillars designed to help connect you with your customers in a meaningful wayTools to help youcreate and share: to shape the way your customers see you and your brandpromote: to find your current customers and to introduce you to new onesmeasure: to deliver actionable data that connects your social interactions with your real business

At the center of Google+ for business is the new pages featurePages are profiles built specifically for businesses. While pages pages inherit a lot from the consumer profiles, they’re designed to grow and evolve to fit the needs of your business.Everything you do on Google+ will start with what you do with your page, so it’s a natural place for you to start.

One of the first things you’ll notice about your page is that it includes a +1 count and button.The +1 count isn’t just a total of people who +1 this page. It’s the total of everyone who +1’d your website anywhere on the web. So whether it happened on a search result, in an ad, or on your website, your +1’s all appear here.When someone +1’s your page, they’ll also have the option to share it with their friends by posting it directly to their stream.

Finally, we’d like to call your attention to the circles feature on your page.Unlike +1, which is a lightweight gesture from someone saying “I think this is cool” – when someone adds you to a circle they’ll start to receive your posts directly in their streamOnce someone adds you to a circle, you’ll also be able to add them back. We are interested in your ideas and thoughts here, as we think people will do them a number of ways. Some suggestions are to have a circle of people who have circled you, you can add everyone who responds to a certain post to a circle, you can select people based on what they post. Over time, we plan to add more features to help you manage and scale your circles more easily.

When you’re logged in as a Page admin, you’ll be able to see the stream for that Page.The stream includes posts from all members who’ve added you to one of their circles and chosen to share something with you.You can segment this content by circles and see only updates from the circles you’ve created.Finally, you’ll also see the option to create a hangout which lets you start a group video chat with up to 9 other users. You can start a hangout publicly, with certain circles, or with specific people.There’s also a notification section specifically for your Page identity. There you can see +1s, shared, circle adds, or mentions. When you see a notification, you might want to jump into the conversation.

Once you choose your business type and fill in some basic info, you’ll be taken to the startup screenHere, you’ll be able to fill in additional information (like pictures, descriptions, and locations) , invite people to follow your page (You can either share a link on Google+ or email them directly) , and to start sharing with your new community (post early and often to get the most from your new page).
